It's about 2:30 AM here and I'm up debugging my shiny new DWA-552 XtremeN Desktop Adapter. Stock 2.6.28 gave me the dreaded "No ProbeResp from current AP" in syslog with a disconnect every few minutes, even after updating |IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL to (100 * HZ). It's highly annoying. I thought compat-wireless might help. It seems to do a little bit better but that's subjective. I still get a disconnect every few minutes. iwconfig and my DIR-655 show plenty of signal strength but it doesn't respond to pings and my ssh sessions all get stuck in limbo. What can I do to debug this? This is an old Athlon XP 2000+ box running Gentoo (if it helps). I've seen a few other probs on this list recently but they don't seem similar to mine enough to warrant tacking this msg on to an existing thread. Thanks! Joseph Cheek joseph at cheek.com PS: stock 2.6.27 seemed to disconnect less often but still did. It also seemed to have memory leaks - I couldn't restart wlan0 more than a few times before I get OOM errors. |
